The trailer for the upcoming movie adaptation of the classic F. Scott Fitzgerald novel has posted online.

The plot of the film can be described as....

"Nick Carraway, a Midwesterner now living on Long Island, finds himself fascinated by the mysterious past and lavish lifestyle of his neighbor, Jay Gatsby. He is drawn into Gatsby's circle, becoming a witness to obsession and tragedy."

Aside from the fact that Gatsby has proven to be just about unfilmable up to this point, there are very few directors who are less suited to the task than Baz 'I shit rainbows' Lurmann. The entire tone of the trailer is wrong. And it's in 3D.

This is going to be a massive shit sandwich. Hollywood needs to leave classic novels alone.

I'm glad I'm not the only one worried about the feel of the trailer. It's too shiny, if that makes sense. Plus, I know it's just a trailer but a kanye song? Really?
